Be it hereby announced that this Wednesday, the first of the glorious month of April (ignore Eliot, he was a douche), shall be the Test Day for the radeon video driver. Which is used, as you may already have deduced, for ATI Radeon (and FireGL) video cards. All of 'em.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:Radeon_2009-04-01
If you have such a card, please make all appropriate effort to attend - in #fedora-qa on Freenode, whenever counts as Wednesday daytime for you (there should be someone, either myself, Dave or someone else from the QA department, around all day).
The Wiki page is replete with instructions and test cases and a results table, and will shortly contain up-to-date live CD images (for now, the links point to the Nouveau test day live images, which don't have the latest changes from Rawhide). So it's very easy to test without needing a permanent install of Rawhide or any permanent changes to your system. We really need testing with as broad as possible a range of Radeon cards, so if you have one, please do come out and do the tests! Thanks.
I'm looking forward to testing, and I hope the nouveau iso is replaced with the correct one soon so I can try it :)

I hope to be able to help test as well. I hope an update will be mentioned here, so we can grab the ISO. Some of us don't have the fastest connections, so we need some time...

The updated ISO is up now.

Hi,
Is it possible to add one more testcase to this list? I propose testing rotation (left or right), since this is often a rich source of crazy bugs. I have personally found segfaults, scrambled video, non-rotated xv, and mouse cursor issues in this mode.
I can write up a test script tonight if it's not too late to add.
Thanks,
Adam

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to the RandR test case, as it's part of that functionality in any case.

Done, except I did add it as a separate case in the end, to make it clear you can do this test with only one monitor. Thanks again.

Shouldn't you restrict this test to older Radeon cards (which should be using the new radeon-rewrite code) ? R600+ cards do not get KMS or any 3D support.

We want testing on all hardware, but I'm updating the page at present to note things which are known not to work with R600+. Are you sure KMS doesn't work, though? http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature has it marked as 'WIP' for r600 and r700, just the same as r100->r500...

R600+ does not have it by default (you have to use radeon.modeset=1), and if I enable it I get no video out (tested on a RV730 and a RV770 card) so it soes not look like it's included at the moment. It's likely a WIP bundled with the 3D support, but it's not testable at the moment.

OK, thanks - I'll adjust the instructions and check with Dave on whether it's ever expected to work.

Is there anything specific to test the vsync/tear free video that has recently been added to radeon - and which hardware it is expected to work on?

Not really, the tests aren't that granular. If you're familiar with the issue and how it should look pre- and post- fix, you can do it as part of the Xv test, I guess.
